As the referendum date is approaching, the race is becoming more unpredictable then ever.

According to the last survey conducted by YouGov, the support for Scottish independence has fallen by three points and now stands at 48%, leaving the support for remaining in the UK at higher 52%. With less that one week remaining, the lobbyists are doing the final push to influence the outcome of the referendum. This was the first time that "No" support grew since teh beginning of measuring.

"This is the first time No has gained ground since early August. Three previous polls over the past month had recorded successive four point increases in backing for independence. In early August Yes support stood at 39%; by last weekend it had climbed to 51%.", noted YouGov.

Below, you can see how the levels of support shifted over the course of the past 30 days.

Shortly after the publication, the executives of the two leading campaigns gave their press statements.

Blair Jenkins, chief executive of the pro-independence campaign Yes Scotland, stated shortly after the publication of the results that he was not disappointed, acknowledging that this poll confirmed the two camps were neck and neck. "As we say in response to all the polls, we are working flat out to ensure that we achieve a yes vote, because it's the biggest opportunity the people of Scotland will ever have to build a fairer society and more prosperous economy," said Jenkins.

Blair McDougall, campaign director for Better Together, said: "Every voter has the power to tip the referendum either way. This decision is far too important to be a protest vote. That is why thousands of Scots will be pounding the streets over the next week to make sure that we win the referendum."

Polling stations in Scotland will be open from 7am until 10pm on Thursday 18 September.
